PacificAus TV, managed by Free TV Australia, has expanded to provide residents of the Cook Islands and Niue with free-to-air television content from Australia.
The Indo-Pacific Broadcasting Strategy is an Australian Government initiative fostering stronger cultural ties and sharing stories throughout the region.
Starting in September, residents of the Cook Islands and Niue will gain access to a selection of dramas, documentaries, sports coverage, news, entertainment, and children’s shows.
“We are excited to bring PacificAus TV to the Cook Islands and Niue,” said Free TV CEO, Bridget Fair. “This expansion is a key component of Australia’s Indo-Pacific Broadcasting Strategy, demonstrating our commitment to deepening relationships across the Pacific.”
The Director of PacificAus TV, Shane Wood, said, “With the addition of our new partners in the Cook Islands and Niue, PacificAus TV will now be sharing the best of Australian television with 17 free-to-air broadcasters in 11 Pacific nations across 6 time zones.
“We are extremely grateful to be able to access such a wide variety of Australia’s top programming for airing on Cook Islands Television at no rights and delivery cost. This really means a lot to us.” said Jeane Matenga, CEO of Cook Islands Television. “Being able to offer relevant, engaging and top-quality content is extremely beneficial towards us providing a continuous service.”
